At the Beach

So, I often realize that I'm fairly spoiled here in Italy.  Although the work is demanding and sometimes stressful, life is pretty fabulous overall.  I never realize that more than when I spend a day laying by the sea.  That's exactly how I spent Saturday and it was totally fantastic, especially since I had the awesome company of my sister-in-law and her boyfriend.  I love it when family comes to visit!









And of course, a day by the sea isn't complete until you've eaten a totally unpretentious dinner of fresh caught seafood at a plastic table by the docks.  Perfect!

Those pictures are INCREDIBLE! I've been reading your blog for about a week, and have a desire to become gifted in photography and live in the mediterranean. Alas that does not seem to be in the cards in the immediate future. I do love pretending like I'm there though!

Thank you, everyone! I'm really glad you are enjoying the travel photos.

Amy, I'm in the southern Bay of Naples (Pompei); I live in the America during the year, but come here for work in the summertime. I can't complain, haha!
